SAN FRANCISCO, June 29-William Kissane
alias W. X. Rogers filed demurrer in the Cir
cult Court to-day, 20 the suit of the Chemical
National Bank of New York. the beginning of
which action was made the occasion of reviving
the remarkable criminal record of kissane in
the East. In the demurrer counsel for Kissane
hold that the present action is barred by the
statute of limitations. The demurrer also states
that by said bill of complaint, it appears that
the defendant was within the State of New
York, and subject to the jurisdiction of the
courts of that State for sixteen months next fol-
lowing the accruing to the complainant of the
alleged cause of action, and that action at
law was ever instituted upon said alleged cause
of action in any of the courts of the State of
New York or elsewhere, and said alleged
of action is barred at law and that If the COM
plainant ever had any equity in the premises,
the same is now barred The State Court will
therefore be asked to dismiss the suit.

THE FIDELITY BANK.
Will Close Up Its Affairs and In.
diyidual Lawsuits Will Not Be Necessary

CINCINNATI. June 29.-Mr. David Armstrong
has had his bond receiver of the Fidelity Ma
tonal Bank accepted, and he is now in charge of
the affairs of the defunct institution. Comp
troller of the Currency Trenholm and Solicitor
of the Treasury McCue started for Washington
tonight having given to the receiver. and to the
United States district attorney here, respective
~, such instructions could be given at this
time. Mr.. Trenholm, in conversation. said that
he would deal with this bank upon the principle
that national banks hold iduciary relation to
the public, and that the profits upon the stock
are, in part, the consideration for the proper
discharge of the trust by the officers
chosen by the stockholders: and when. as in the
of the Fidelity Bank. this trust is betrayed
by the officers, it is the duty OF the government
to award exemplary punishment not only to the
men active in the wrong doing. but also to those
who being in a position to protect the interests
of depositors. neglected or omitted to SO dis
charge that duty. 1t is understood that the
comptroller and the district attorney agree that
the government off eers will act for the creditors
of the bank, and that individual suits are not
necessary the government regarding it as its
duty to exhaust the legal liabilities of officers
and stockholders in the effort to meet claims.
Comptroller Trenholm will declare a dividend
az the necessary data can be collected.

National Bank, to day resigned, and Franklin

NOT WORTH MUCH FOR TAXATION.
Railroad Companies Make Assessment Re
turns That Will Be Largely Increased.

In examining the returns of taxable valuables
made by tine railroad companies the State Board
of Equalization finds that these companies have
not been at all reluctant to depreciate for this
purpose the value of their property A COM
pany that controls of the best-paying roads
in the State returns $50. 900 as the entire value
of road, shops and equipments on a
line that extends nearly two hun
dred miles in Indiana alone. In a
northern county, of the wealthiest corpora
that it has only So, 600 when it is estimated the
investment in this single instance cost fully
$780, 900. To-day the officers OF several railway
companies will be heard, but the board is in
clined to make an increase of valuation in nearly
every instance.
The county board of equalization did not COM
pete its work yesterday, and may not finish to-
day. The board found it necessary yesterday
road returns. Heretofore the county board has
had nothing to do with equazing the
railroad assessments. bust lat fall
the Supreme court decden that the State board

that the personal property should be equalized
by the local boards. When the list was taken
up yesterday it was found that the roads had
all returned comparatively little personal
return more than $50, and the l., D. & s..
which has it's shops here and which obtained
months ago, returned but $1,000 in personal
property. In order to get al the
facts, representatives from nearly all
the roads were summoned before the board
yesterday, and while 1t was difficult to get much
of them, the board is satisfied that their per-
sonal property in the county is great deal
larger than reported, and will make some aston
ishiug changes The decision of the Supreme
Court will, it is estimated. raise the tax dupli-
